April 12, 2023

As winter draws to a close, spring hiking season begins, bringing with it a wealth of new opportunities for outdoor adventure and fun. However, making the most of the season requires gathering the right gear.

Like all outdoor gear, summer hiking gear needs to be durable enough to withstand the rigors of the outdoors, yet lightweight enough to be easy to carry.

CHROME INDUSTRIES CULLY CREW SWEATSHIRT

Although summer nights are not as harsh or cold as winter nights, summer nights can still be quite cold, especially if you are in the desert or mountains. And although it may be a bit difficult to carry a full-size sweater, it is still wise to have a warm and thermal sweater to keep your body temperature up.

The Cully Crew from Chrome Industries is made with two layers to keep you warm. This garment is made from a thin but cozy wool-poly blend that is machine washable, heat-regulating, and odor-resistant (antimicrobial). It also has a hidden zippered pocket for storing wallets, smartphones, or other small items.

JETBOIL FLASH JAVA KIT Prep System

Whether you're at home or out and about, a freshly brewed cup of coffee is a great way to start your day, and Jetboil's Flash Java Kit makes it possible with a compact French press accessory that attaches to the gas-powered ultra-fast Flash brewing system.

In addition to making coffee, this impressive camping gadget can boil water in under two minutes, plus it has a color-changing thermochromatic heat indicator so you know when your water is up to the required temperature.

ALPS MOUNTAINEERING ZEPHYR 3-person tent

Breathability and airflow are extremely important when purchasing a summer tent, as a tent without proper ventilation is like waking up in a sauna every morning.

The ALPS Mountaineering tent allows you to freely see the stars in the open sky, but still has the ability to shelter its occupant from potential rain and protect against annoying insects.

Built around a lightweight frame made up of aircraft-grade 7000 series aluminum poles, the tent features a 75D 185T polyester taffeta floor with a 3000mm coating – the same material used on the tent’s rainfly.
